Preview moving playlist indices

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only a hint of atomicity ('as one operation') and nothing about ordering semantics, limits (500 indices), or what the preview returns.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler, but it is terse to the point of omission rather than efficiently dense.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 3-parameter, 0%-coverage mutation-style tool, the description is not complete enough. An output schema exists so return values need not be explained, but parameter meaning and ordering behavior are left entirely to inference.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% for all three required parameters, so the description must compensate and does not. It hints at a collection of indices but says nothing about how 'position' interacts with the indices (e.g. whether it is relative to the list before or after removal), which is the key semantic ambiguity for a move tool.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The verb 'moving' and the batch scope ('several current indices as one operation') are stated, and 'several' distinguishes it from the singular tidal_preview_move_playlist_item_by_index. However, the resource (playlist items) is never named in the description and only inferable from the tool name, and 'current indices' is vague about what is being indexed.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No statement of when to pick this over tidal_preview_move_playlist_item_by_index, tidal_preview_move_playlist_item_by_id, or the commit counterpart. The word 'Preview' weakly implies a dry-run usage but nothing routes the agent among the many sibling move/remove variants.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
